Security checkpoint equipment.

    Determination: Partially approved. Explosive trace detection 
equipment has already been deployed to each checkpoint in sufficient 
number to meet current FAA regulations and operating procedures. 
Therefore, the explosive trace detection equipment element of this 
project is not approved.
    Wetlands relocation.
    Determination: Partially approved. The environmental assessment in 
support of this project included only the detailed analysis for filling 
6.3 acres of wetlands in a portion of the runway protection zone and 
for remediating 24.08 acres of wetlands located in the southwest 
portion of ORD. The remaining wetlands have not been environmentally 
evaluated and thus the public agency cannot meet the requirement of 
Sec. 158.25(c)(1)(ii)(B) for the remaining wetlands and that portion of 
the project is not approved.
    Brief Description of Project Approved for Collection at ORD and Use 
at Chicago Midway Airport at a $4.50 PFC Level:

Terminal 6 development.
Terminal 1/Terminal 2 connection expansion.
Concourse L extension.
Runway 18/36 rehabilitation.

    Brief Description of Project Approved in Part For Collection at ORD 
for Future Use at ORD at a $4.50 PFC Level:

Airport Transit System (ATS) maintenance relocation.
    Determination: Partially approved. This project meets the nominal 
requirements for AIP eligibility and, therefore, PFC eligibility under 
paragraph 594(a) of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook (October 24, 1989) 
which provides for the relocation of a facility that impedes eligible 
development. However, maintenance facilities are eligible only in so 
far as they provide maintenance for eligible safety and security 
equipment per paragraph 567(e)(1) of FAA Order 5100.38A. Therefore, the 
use of PFC revenue is limited to the cost to replace a like facility. 
Any expansion or upgrade would not be PFC eligible.
    Brief Description of Projects Approved For Collection at ORD and 
Use at ORD at a $3.00 PFC Level:

Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Terminal 3 facade and circulation enhancement 
improvements.

    Brief Description of Projects Approved in Part for Collection at 
ORD and Use at ORD at a $3.00 PFC Level:

Snow/security/fire miscellaneous equipment.

    Determination: partially approved. This project included 11 
components of which four were determined to be ineligible for AIP and, 
therefor, PFC funding. The four disapproved components and the reason 
for each disapproval are: Four pickup truck small salters (these units 
are not used on runways, taxiways, aprons, or gate areas as required in 
order to be eligible under AIP criteria); one fire step van (this unit 
is not required by Part 139 to meet ARFF requirements); three ambulance 
trucks (these units are not required by Part 139 to meet ARFF 
requirements); and two portable stairway trucks (these units are not 
required by Part 139 to meet ARFF requirements).
    Oil separators 1, 2, and 3 rehabilitation.
    Determination: Partially approved. Any general maintenance, such as 
the repair to lake erosion, is not AIP eligible and, therefore, is not 
PFC eligible.
    Concession area public space buildout.
    Determination:  Partially approved. The FAA has determined that a 
portion of this project is for the benefit of the food court and other 
revenue producing vendors. Therefore, even though the public agency 
identifies these areas as public seating and for public use, the FAA 
has concluded that the seating areas proposed for the E/F apex, H/K 
apex, and Rotunda are not AIP or PFC eligible. However, in addition to 
the seating areas, the public agency proposes circulation improvements 
intended to improve the efficiency of passenger movements between and 
among terminals and concourses as well as provide access to restroom 
facilities. The public agency estimates that the circulation portion of 
the project has been reduced by the final design of the various areas 
to the point that the PFC portion of the project is approximately 32 
percent of the total. Furthermore, the FAA's analysis concluded that 
the Concourse B food court does not provide additional public 
circulation and is primarily for the benefit of the vendor area. Thus, 
the Concourse B area is completely ineligible. In addition, since the 
public agency listed the Concourse H and K food courts separately from 
the H/K apek, the FAA assumes these are separate areas. However, 
because the public agency did not provide any plans, sketches, or 
additional information regarding these food courts, the FAA was unable 
to determine if any portion of those areas was eligible. Therefore, PFC 
funds cannot be used to fund any improvements in the H and K food 
courts.
    Airport maintenance complex addition.

[[Page 31968]]

    Determination: Partially approved. This project is generally 
eligible under AIP criteria, paragraphs 567(d) and 568 of FAA Order 
5100.38A, AIP Handbook (October 24, 1989). However, to the extent a 
building houses both eligible and ineligible equipment, the eligible 
cost of the building and utilities for the building must be a prorated 
share of the total project cost, under paragraph 568 of FAA Order 
5100.38A.
    Landside formulation.
    Determination: Partially approved. Elements of work not 
specifically identified in the public agency's PFC Attachment B's for 
this project are not included in this approval. Furthermore, to the 
element that any of the elements listed involve ineligible (off-
airport) work, the costs of planning, study, assessment, and design 
attributable to the off-airport portion of the project is not PFC 
eligible.
    High temperature water piping: elimination of ball joints.
    Determination: Partially approved. This project is generally 
eligible under AIP criteria, paragraph 568 of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP 
Handbook (October 24, 1989). However, to the extent the high 
temperature water piping serves both eligible and ineligible buildings 
and/or spaces, the eligible cost of utilities for the airport must be a 
prorated share of the total project cost.
    Brief Description of Projects Approved for Collection at ORD and 
Use at Gary/Chicago Airport (GYY) at a $3.00 PFC Level:

Acquisition of a 1500-gallon ARFF vehicle.
Terminal renovation--phase III.

Touch Avenue Reservoir.

    Brief Description of Projects Approved in Part for Collection at 
ORD for Future Use at ORD at a $3.00 PFC Level:
Concourse C upgrade.

    Determination: Partially approved. Some elements of this project 
may meet the nominal requirements for AIP eligibility, and therefore, 
PFC eligibility under paragraph 551 of FAA order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook 
(October 24, 1989). However, the FAA has determined that the public 
agency did not provide sufficient description or justification 
concerning the majority of the proposed elements to allow a 
determination of nominal eligibility for those elements. The FAA was 
able to conclude that the restroom work, insofar as this work is needed 
to comply with ADA requirements, is eligible. The information provided 
on the remaining tasks in this project did not allow the FAA to 
conclude that the remainder of this project involved eligible 
reconstruction/repair rather than ineligible maintenance work 
(paragraph 501 of FAA Order 5100.38A).
    Concourse B upgrade.
    Determination: partially approved. Some elements of this project 
may meet the nominal requirements for AIP eligibility, and, therefore, 
PFC eligibility under paragraph 551 of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook 
(October 24, 1989). However, the FAA has determined that the public 
agency did not provide sufficient description or justification 
concerning the majority of the proposed elements to allow a 
determination of nominal eligibility for those elements. The FAA was 
able to conclude that the restroom work, insofar as this work is needed 
to comply with ADA requirements, in eligible. The information provided 
on the remaining tasks in this project did not allow the FAA to 
conclude that the remainder of this project involved eligible 
reconstruction/repair rather than ineligible maintenance work 
(paragraph 501 of FAA Order 5100.38A).
    Concourse L upgrade.
    Determination: Partially approved. Some elements of this project 
may meet the nominal requirements for AIP eligibility, and therefore, 
PFC eligibility under paragraph 551 of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook 
(October 24, 1989). However, the FAA has determined that the public 
agency did not provide sufficient description or justification 
concerning the majority of the proposed elements to allow a 
determination of nominal eligibility for those elements. The FAA was 
able to conclude that the restroom work, insofar as this work is needed 
to comply with ADA requirements, is eligible. The information provided 
on the remaining tasks in this project did not allow the FAA to 
conclude that the remainder of this project involved eligible 
reconstruction/repair rather than ineligible maintenance work 
(paragraph 501 of FAA Order 5100.38A).
    Concourse K upgrade.
    Determination: Partially approved. Some elements of this project 
may meet the nominal requirements for AIP eligibility, and therefore, 
PFC eligibility under paragraph 551 of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook 
(October 24, 1989). However, the FAA has determined that the public 
agency did not provide sufficient description or justification 
concerning the majority of the proposed elements to allow a 
determination of nominal eligibility for those elements. The FAA was 
able to conclude that the restroom work, insofar as this work is needed 
to comply with ADA requirements, is eligible. The information provided 
on the remaining tasks in this project did not allow the FAA to 
conclude that the remainder of this project involved eligible 
reconstruction/repair rather than ineligible maintenance work 
(paragraph 501 of FAA Order 5100.38A).
    Concourse H upgrade.
    Determination: Partially approved. Some elements of this project 
may meet the nominal requirements for AIP eligibility, and therefore, 
PFC eligibility under paragraph 551 of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook 
(October 24, 1989). However, the FAA has determined that the public 
agency did not provide sufficient description or justification 
concerning the majority of the proposed elements to allow a 
determination of nominal eligibility for those elements. The FAA was 
able to conclude that the restroom work, insofar as this work is needed 
to comply with ADA requirements, is eligible. The information provided 
on the remaining tasks in this project did not allow the FAA to 
conclude that the remainder of this project involved eligible 
reconstruction/repair rather than ineligible maintenance work 
(paragraph 501 of FAA Order 5100.38A).
    New police facility.
    Determination: Partially approved. The FAA has determined that not 
all activities at the Police Facility support Part 107 functions. The 
Federal Security Manager for ORD has determined that approximately 80 
percent of the facility will support Part 107 activities and, thus, 
this approval is limited to that 80 percent of the facility which is 
eligible.
    Brief Description of Withdrawn Project:

Airside perimeter road rehabilitation/construction

    Determination: this project was withdrawn by the public agency by

[[Page 31969]]

letter dated January 4, 2001. Therefore, the FAA did not rule on this 
project in this decision.
    Brief Description of Disapproved Projects:

Automated vehicle identification--ground transportation.

    Determination: Disapproved. The FAA has determined that this 
project provides a system for controlling commercial vehicles (taxis 
and limousines) and charging them for the Metropolitan Pier and 
Exposition Authority commercial vehicle tax. The FAA has determined 
that the collection of a local vehicle tax does not preserve or enhance 
capacity, safety, or security, furnish opportunities for enhanced 
competition between or among air carriers, or mitigate noise impacts 
resulting from aircraft operations at ORD. Therefore, this project does 
not meet the requirements of Sec. 158.15(a).
    Perimeter intrusion detection system--phase II.
    Determination: Disapproved. The FAA's Federal Security Manager for 
ORD has reviewed the proposed project and has determined that the 
existing 10-foot fence with outriggers and barbed wire, when combined 
with periodic patrols, meets the requirements of part 107. Therefore, 
this project is not required to meet part 107, does not meet the 
requirements of Sec. 158.15(b)(1), and is not PFC eligible.
    360 degree Silicon Graphics Incorporated based tower simulator.
    Determination: Disapproved. Training programs for air traffic 
controllers are not airport development as defined by AIP criteria. In 
addition, the development of new flight patterns or procedures is not 
AIP eligible. Therefore, this project does not meet the requirements of 
Sec. 158.15(b)(1).
    Zemke road extension.
    Determination: Disapproved. The FAA has determined that the scope 
of the project describes a roadway that will be utilized for access to 
the soon-to-be-built United Airlines corporate headquarters building, a 
non-aeronautical facility. As presently depicted, this road does not 
exclusively serve airport traffic as is required by paragraph 553(a)(3) 
of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook (October 24, 1989). therefore, this 
project does not meet the requirements of Sec. 158.15(b)(1).
